Sure.  Just use JDBC:

wxGrid has not been wrapped yet, but wxListCtrl has.  There's no such
C++ class as wxTable, but if you're looking for an equivalent of
JTable, you want wxListCtrl in report mode.  Check out the demo for an
example of using wxListCtrl.

There are no plans to wrap wxDbGrid because Java already has JDBC.  In
fact, there are no plans to wrap anything except the GUI classes.
Non-GUI wxWindows classes, like database, threads, and networking
already have fine Java versions.

Sorry, I don't have one.

Umm... wx4j *is* a real port, it's just incomplete.  But more and more
classes get added all the time.  I need to do another release, soon,
as we've added a lot since the last public release.
